The Black Legacy Project is a musical celebration of Black history to advance racial harmony, bridge-building, and partnership.
Developed in the summer of 2020, Black LP launched with week-long residencies in seven communities across the country – the Berkshires of Western Massachusetts, Atlanta, Los Angeles, the Mississippi Delta, Denver, the Arkansas Ozarks, and Boise. These residencies brought together Black and White artists and artists of ALL backgrounds to record present day interpretations of songs central to the Black American experience and to compose originals that call for harmony, bridge-building, and partnership. Community roundtable discussions helped inform how these songs were interpreted and written.
“Black LP” is a documentary short, taking audiences on a musical journey across the country and throughout history, as it follows the Black LP’s national launch and tour across the United States. The film entertains, educates, informs, and inspires audiences, highlighting the power of music as a force for human connection and social change.
The Black LP is produced by Music in Common – a nonprofit organization that strengthens, empowers, and connects communities through the universal language.
Directed by Trey Carlisle and Todd Mack (USA)
